    Bad Boy Trouble Again..............

    Updated: July 17, 2011, 1:29 PM ET
    Cedric Benson arrested in Texas


    ESPN.com news services

    Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson was arrested and charged with assault causing bodily injury to a family member early Sunday morning in Central Texas.


    Benson

    No other details were available from the Travis County sheriff's office regarding the Class A misdemeanor charge. Benson will be a free agent once a new collective-bargaining agreement is in place. Benson's latest legal trouble comes a little more than a year after an arrest involving an alleged bar fight in Texas, which didn't result in a discipline from the NFL.

    Commissioner Roger Goodell said then that he was satisfied Benson understood his responsibilities as an NFL player and a public figure after Benson met with Goodell and other league officials. Goodell has stated players will still be subject to review and discipline under the personal-conduct policy for potential violations during the lockout.


    The Chicago Bears, who selected Benson fourth overall in 2005, released him in 2008 after a pair of alcohol-related arrests in Texas. The cases were dropped when grand juries declined to indict.
    The 28-year-old Benson was the focal point of a running game that helped the Bengals win the AFC North title in 2009.

    The Bengals decided to emphasize the passing game last season, a move that backfired as the Bengals stumbled to a 4-12 record. Still, he recorded his second straight 1,000-yard season with 1,111 yards.

    He ran for 1,251 yards in 13 games in 2009, missing three because of a strained hip. He also set a club record by running for 100 yards six times. He also ran for 169 yards in a playoff loss to the Jets, a club record for the postseason.
    Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

    Usually it's three strikes and you're out and this is Benson's fourth including his two DUI arrests while he was with the Bears. Since all of his troubles seem to occur while he's in Texas maybe he should think about spending his offseason in Idaho or Montana, LOL.

    However, hasn't the charges been dropped each of the previous three times?

    If they are dropped, does that still count as a strike against you?

    Have they all just been dropped? I don't know for certain but as far as the NFL is concerned he was charged twice for DUI's and cut from the Bears because of it. Then there was the matter of an altercation in Texas last year. I think he's already met with Goodell once and been let off the hook so what's the deal this time. It can't just be that poor Cedric is always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    Well, the charges involve family members, so it's likely that they will be dropped. If that is what has happened in the past, then Benson may well be only at strike one or two with the NFL commissioner... just a thought. That would amount to a lot of family abuse tho....

    I just saw they headline and the first thing that came to mind was "AGAIN!". I am not feeling any regrets for the Bears cutting him.

    Family member or not it's still an assault charge and even if it is dropped the NFL can still discipline him. When a guy has had two DUI arrests and two assault arrests it's pretty hard to believe that he doesn't have a problem. Even the arrests could be construed as a violation of the NFL policy on conduct. I'm just happy he's Cincy's problem now and not ours.

    The latest news on this indicates that is is a former roomate that he had the altercation with and possibly not a family member. Apparently Benson had asked this former roomate to leave his home several days ago and when the guy didn't comply the physical battle followed. Regardless of the nature of their relationship Benson was charged with assault on a family member. I'm curious as to exactly what that relationship was.
